Heather Locklear and her boyfriend busted after domestic dispute, assault on cops

Heather Locklear and her boyfriend racked up a pair of jail bookings Monday after a domestic dispute at her California home allegedly devolved into her kicking and shoving sheriff's deputies.

The "Melrose Place" actress was taken into custody first as she turned "combative" and resisted arrest at her Thousand Oaks address shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday, a spokesman for the Ventura County Sheriff said.

The deputies were responding to a domestic violence call and found that her boyfriend had sustained a visible "traumatic" injury, the spokesman said.

"She was immediately uncooperative. She started pushing and kicking when the deputies determined probable cause for the domestic battery and they were attempting to arrest her," Capt. Garo Kuredjian told the Daily News.

Locklear, 56, was booked on suspicion of felony domestic violence and three counts of misdemeanor battery on emergency personnel.

Sheriff officials did not observe any injuries on Locklear, but the "Dynasty" star claimed she was hurt and visited a hospital before her booking at Ventura County jail a little after 1 a.m., authorities said.

She was released several hours later after posting $20,000 bail.

Police did not identify the boyfriend, but Locklear has been dating former high school sweetheart Chris Heisser, 56, for months. TMZ.com said he was the injured party Sunday night.

Heisser was later popped for DUI as he piloted a Mercedes southbound on the 101 Freeway in Ventura County, a California Highway Patrol spokesman told The News.

"He was driving at an unusually slow speed for that time of the evening," CHP Officer Marco Marin said. "Mr. Heisser provided a breath sample that came back .19% blood alcohol."
